I wonder what this means for Ruby 1.8.4 (the current stable) and 1.9 (the current development release)?
An example where a file in UTF8 is read, processed and written out again would be helpful. Hannes Hirzel, 3 June 2006
 
:Ruby 1.8's regular expression engine handles multibyte characters correctly depending on what you set $KCODE to. By default it is in ASCII mode. The string library generally treats characters as raw bytes and ignores character encodings (its been a while since I've looked, I seem to recall one or two methods that check for multibyte characters). Ruby 2.0 will contain more multibyte and unicode string features, but the exact nature of those features have not been decided. --[[User:Drbrain|drbrain]] 11:51, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
